Wow, that was a good outcome Don.

Was the chain clip joined or riveted?

Well saved mate!

Have to say though, that, that chain looks a tad dry. The feint red hue, on both the chain, the wheel and tyre, is a clue.

Wow, thankfully a rare event, only the second time I've ever seen that in many years of riding. Good job keeping it upright!
